X-ray and transmitter tubes
Electroglass - thermally and mechanically highly loadable

The heart of any X-ray unit is the X-ray tube with its bulb of speciality glass. As the largest proportion of the energy is converted into heat, the glass is exposed to enormous loading. Temperatures of up to 2,700 °C are generated at the focal spot on the anode plate. The glass part must neither deform under extreme heat nor fail due to the mechanical stressing. The X-ray tube is oil-cooled.

Functional principle of X-ray tubes




Bulb of speciality glass
X-ray tubes are subject to the highest quality specifications arising in electroglass processing. This requires the highest level of quality assurance and quality control in every working step. The creation of complex shapes from glass tube with guaranteed wall thicknesses and accuracy of shape requires highly qualified employees and computer controlled machines of the latest generation. Besides traditional radiography, X-ray tubes are also used in computer tomography, angiography and mammography. As the X-ray tubes are required in many different shapes and often in small batches only, we are also able to manufacture smaller lots by hand, in addition to our computer-controlled manufacturing.






Transmitter tubes and glass components for X-ray image amplifiers
Alongside X-ray tubes, we also manufacture transmitter tubes and glass components for X-ray image amplifiers.
